Astral Ants

Chapter 29 Giant Soldier Ant
"Luo Li, one last thing to trouble you, please say hello to Ze Qi Spider King for me."

Long Bai felt a little sorry.

"I understand. Xiao Longbai, Mo Lan, you guys go quickly."

Luoqin helped carry the spider silk bag full of Force food to the entrance of the cave on the hillside.

Long Bai was supposed to visit Zeqi Spider King who had taken good care of him, and he really wanted to.

However, it is too easy to attract the attention of other flame spider merchants.

An 8th-year-old little ant king, and a mid-level flower mantis warrior, where can there be so much force food?
Once noticed, it is easy to guess what it is.

Long Bai didn't want to leave any potential safety hazard, so he joined forces with Mo Lan, one in front and one behind, carrying the spider silk bag into the starship passage.

All the way to the depths.

Long Bai called out the ruling throne hidden in the room, worked together to lift the spider silk bag onto the throne, and took off with a load.

……

"Longbai, which fruit is the best?"

Mo Lan was greedy, she pulled the spider silk bag, and asked tactful questions.

"In terms of taste, it's very average."

Long Bai explained earnestly: "The rich worms only care about the taste of the original force food. Generally speaking, the price of the good original force food will be more expensive. Therefore, most of the food I choose is not very tasty and affordable! "

"Oh--"

Regarding the question of food, Mo Lan thought very quickly, and asked in turn: "Long Bai, which one tastes the worst? Let me try it."

Long Bai: "Only worse, not worst."

"Longbai..."

Mo Lan didn't care about it, and pulled open the spider silk bag with a stab, and then opened the small spider silk bag packed inside with a stab, took out a maple seed, knocked off the shell with a click, rolled her tongue, and wiped the nuts into the mouth.

"The taste is not bad. Long Bai, try it!"

"Really? In fact, I only have a general understanding of it, and I haven't eaten it."

Long Bai buried his head and picked up a grain with his two jaws to taste.

Mo Lan asked, "Didn't you say Luochen is very rich?"

Long Bai asked back, "Isn't it rich?"

Mo Lan: "Then it's still so stingy and fussy."

Long Bai: "The wealth of the Flame Spider Traveling Merchant was accumulated through careful calculation."

Mo Lan asked: "What about 'Bai Wei'? Is it also very careful?"

Long Bai: "Luo Li and Bai Wei lead a caravan together, and there are many junior, intermediate, and advanced flame spiders in the team. Since the Ten Thousand Races Continent is relatively peaceful and safe, only one leader of the mountain master-level flame spiders is needed. Luo Li and Bai Wei took turns following the Zeqi Spider King to trade in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent."

Long Bai: "I've seen Master Baiwei, but I'm not familiar with it...it's a very lively big spider. When it's happy, it will jump around when it walks, and turn over the goods on its back..."

One praying man and one ant chatted about the caravan, and tasted different kinds of force food happily.

Rest overnight,
Depart early the next morning and return to Pandan Mountains in the afternoon.

Long Bai and Mo Lan divided their things, returned to the ant nest, cleaned up briefly, and inspected the territory.

The earliest sown cypresses, junipers, and junipers are already close to 1.5 meters high. In the past few days, junipers have bloomed more than a dozen small pink and white flowers here and there.

Long Bai commanded two medium-sized worker ants to go up the tree and directly bite off the flower spikes.

Blooming and fruiting will consume nutrients and energy, and now there is no shortage of force food, and life-growing plants still focus on growth and development.

In the coming year, the three cypresses will be planted with a height of more than 2 meters, and they will be able to officially produce Force food.

The green cypress sown in early spring last year was more than half a meter high, and the giant cypress sown in late spring was also about 40 centimeters high.

The dry cedar sown this year is just over 10 centimeters.

The hemlock on the top of the seeding mountain has reached a height of more than 10 centimeters. The growth of fir trees is slower than that of cypress trees, and it may take four or five years before they can produce force food.

At the age of 9, Long Bai planned to choose Chinese torreya as his life seed.

The growth of the Chinese torreya tree is slower than that of the large fruit hemlock, and it takes seven or eight years to bear fruit, and the flower and fruit cycle is 3 years.

With the ruling throne to assist in cultivation, and Mo Lan's support, Long Bai had the courage to choose so many trees as life seeds.

After inspecting the territory, Long Bai found a gentle slope nearby, directed the worker ants to clean it overnight, opened a nursery, and sowed the seeds of Chinese torreya, Dawang fir, Jinsong, black emperor peach, Kui Li and spotted star pear.

It is planned to open up an orchard in Xianglan Mountain first, and plant a variety of top species from the mainland on a large scale.

In the future, when the scale of the ant colony grows, the Molan Mountain will also be operated. There is a plain, which is most suitable for planting peach and pear trees.

……

Micro-chemical ants and soldier ants were born one after another, 3 each, and they are all small ones less than 1 cm in size.

The usage is almost the same as that of small worker ants and soldier ants.

The microscopic chemical ants take care of the eggs and newly hatched larvae.

Miniature soldier ants hunt and kill tiny pests such as aphids, scale insects, and red spiders.

There is no need to breed too many for the time being. According to the plan, specialized soldier ants are given priority.

The number of specialized chemical ants is sufficient, so continue to dig the pool.

The working hours have been adjusted again. Every day, they leave the nest to do work in the middle of the morning and finish work early in the afternoon.

Dig for two days and rest for one day.

Sufficient time for rest, Long Bai did not sit idle. After finishing work every day, he ate Force food and spent time absorbing it. He only fell asleep in the middle of the night.

On the day of rest, eat a pandan seed to focus on absorption.

The 8th instar junior ant king still struggles to digest the god-given seed.

The force food purchased by Longbai contains various types of visceral and muscle strengthening effects. When combined and used alternately, the effect is remarkable, and you can feel your progress every day.

There are not many things to do in Mo Lan's territory. Every morning, he comes to Shannan with a spider silk bag on time, and rests on the throne of dominance. He has a leisurely time, eats food from the original force, and watches Long Bai and the worker ants work.

It took half a month to dig out the outline of the pool with a side length of about 5 meters and a depth of 1 meter.

Turn around and continue digging the drainage canal to ensure smooth drainage during the rainy season, and then dig the pool.

After 10 days, the canal was dug to a depth of 1.5 meters.

After half a month, the depth of the pool was dug to 1.5 meters.

Specialized soldier ants were born one after another. Long Bai organized 12 into a team and ordered them to go out to hunt for food. The ant nest initially achieved self-sufficiency in food.

After a warm rain,

The flower buds of hibiscus branches in the north of the mountain are tipping.

Long Bai had a premonition that evolution was imminent, so he informed Mo Lan and ordered the worker ants to stop work and take a few days off.

An Xin crouched in the depths of the nest and ate the last fruit pandan seed.

After another two days of recuperation, after eating some force food procured from Luoqin, he felt drowsy.

……

Waking up from a deep sleep.

Moulting was successfully completed.

Long Bai checked the life bag immediately.

The color of the azure blue seed bestowed by the gods has darkened by three points, and the connection that was originally vague became obvious.

There is life throbbing within the seed.

The seed bestowed by the azure blue god was bred smoothly and turned into the seed of life!

Long Bai spit it out, placed it on the cushion, and took a torreya seed from the spider silk bag and put it into the life bag.

Shaking the antennae, the worker ants hold the shredded meat in their mouths, and send them to the ant nest in a row, and send them to the front.

Due to the fact that he has eaten too much force food that strengthens his physique recently, he wakes up weaker than usual this time.

While eating, Long Bai sorted out the newly awakened memory, the core inheritance of the awakened giant head ant at the 9th age: giant soldier ant!

[Soldier ants, which are bigger than the soldier ants, have half the strength of the king ant, have high combat intelligence, can command the soldiers to fight, and are the most powerful helper of the king ant]

An extremely powerful ant!
Long Bai searched for the breeding method, and was immediately disappointed.

To cultivate giant soldier ants, in addition to pheromone stimulation, the larval stage also needs to be fed force-enhancing food.

But there are other benefits,
Ordinary worker ants and soldier ants age very quickly, with a lifespan ranging from several years to ten years, and they do not grow up.

The giant soldier ants are completely different. They have the same lifespan as the king ant, and can grow simultaneously with the evolution and growth of the king ant.

but,

You need to consume a corresponding amount of force food.

——There are giant soldier ants, there must be corresponding, similar "giant chemical ants", raising one to help take care of the ant nest, managing worker ants is not bad.

——I need a giant chemical ant even more...

——Giant soldier ants are also good, but I can't afford to raise them now!

Long Bai thought for a while and made up his mind.

Repeatedly examining myself, after molting evolution, the physical strengthening effect of various force foods appeared, and the body became much stronger, with a body length of more than 15 centimeters.

Familiar with the various changes after evolution, Long Bai turned his head and picked up the blue god-given seed, looking at it obsessively.

My god-given seed!
